advices from Liverpool. where an advance was
expected and the second in New York where
the foreign advces were expected to furnish
the ammunition for an assault on prices. Our
cables state that Liverpool expects a bureau
report of ~, and that they are no longer dis
posed to follow the advance. The large spot
sales in that market are strange IN the face of
the indisposition of buyers TO go on with pur-
chases from this side. and we find the same
state of affairs existing in the South from the
free offers made this afternoon. The Cotton
World succeeding the National Cotton EX-
change) furnished an estimate of the condition
of the crop, giving it at SOL with the following
averages by States: Virginia So, North Carolina
30, South Carolina s., Georgia so, Florida 81,
Alabama 81, Mississippi Sc, louisiana 81. Arkan-
saS q. Tennessee 76, Texas rs. This report is
thought to foreshadow the bureau report eX-
pected on Monday, and it has had the effect of
strengthening our future market. The market
has been hardening on the entire day, and sell
ers have been few and far between. so that the
execution of orders of any magnitude has been
difficult, while the greater part of our larger
operators do not seem disposed to follow the
advance The rise of the past week has been so
constant as TO prevent them from taking
stand ON the short side. They think an advance
at the moment would be premature, when
Europe shows plainly disposition to refrain
from buying on the basis now reached. We
should say the feeling in the Exchange is one of
fear to fight the advance further, but that this
disposition without support from outside cor
ners may lead to reaction.

The bureau of statistics at Wash
ington shows that since 1910 the an
nual consumption of spirits has in
creased from 100000 gallons to
100000 and malt liquors from A.
100000 to 100000 gallons. Spir-
its have fallen from % gallons to II
gallons per capita; wines increased
in the ratio of 8 to A. and malt liq-
uors from l J to II gallons per capita.
That is to say, the drinker of to-day
drinks half as much spirits and seven
times as much beer as he did 46 years
ago. There is slight increase also
in the use Of coffee. The drinkers
annually spend $4,000 per capita for
their liquor and the whole popula-
ton spends about s15 for food and
clothing to 81 for drink.-Evening
